Accelerate your research!

Biologists today spend too much time moving around tiny amounts of liquid by hand. Micropipetting is a repetitive, error-prone, time consuming task, and it is slowing down research.

Pipetting got you down?

The OT.One does pipetting for you so you can focus on moving your project forward. Lower your error rate, free up your time, accelerate your research.

Let OpenTrons take care of the pipetting for you!

Together with Synbiota, we put together a kit that lets you run the "hello world" of synthetic biology -- assemble a DNA design from modular genetic blocks, and boot it up in a bacteria to make it glow red under a blacklight!

The Synbiota kit includes four Genomikon DNA Blocks: an Anchor, a Linker, a red florescent protein gene copied from pink choral, and a Cap that completes the plasmid.

Here is a video about the Genomikon DNA Assembly Process from Synbiota!

The kit also includes a standard p200 micropipette, and the OT.MagWash DNA assembly station. You can assemble the DNA either by hand or with an OT.One!

OT.One Backer Options

OT.One backers have three options, the Standard Kit, the Getting Started Kit (add +$100 to the backer level), and the Pro Upgrade (add +$500 to the backer level).

Mix.Bio

Mix.Bio is the first ever community for the peer-to-peer development of open-source automated biology protocols.

Mix.Bio lets you easily design protocols in the browser. Drag and drop tools, commands, and locations to put together OpenTrons jobs, then share them with your peers. Or, search through protocols others made and download one to run yourself!

OpenTrons is full Open-Source!

We stand on the shoulders of giants -- thanks especially to the Smoothieware team for such an awesome motor controller!

Risks and challenges

Manufacturing is always a challenge, but it is one we are prepared for. We spent the summer in Shenzhen, China, where we solidified a network of suppliers and manufacturers that we know will deliver quality, affordable robots starting in April 2015.

We also avoided parts in the OT.One that require difficult, time-intensive custom tools and molds to make. That makes manufacturing much less complicated, and is one of the main reasons we are so confident we can start shipping to early-bird backers in April.

Also, we are part of Haxlr8r, a hardware accelerator in Shenzhen, and are working with Seeed Studio, the open-hardware facilitator, for manufacturing. Both Hax and Seeed have tons of experience delivering on Kickstarter campaigns, and we are excited to be a part of their awesome network!

Manufacturing is never easy, but we are as prepared as possible to deliver quality robots starting in April!
